Perfect! 20% thinner? Thats sick. The length increase of the screen is awesome too. My pockets can accomodate more length, easily but not width. As for boot up, i dont even recall the last time i turned off my 3gs. Stoked to get ir

I'm a huge fan of apple tech, (have a rMBP, ipad, iphone and apple TV) and I can honestly say I wouldn't buy this unless there is some BIG surprise. It looks uglier than the old one (solid back) and it is bulkier (the size of the iphone 4 is perfect). Seriously unimpressed if this is it.

But before the iphone 4, what was perfect size? Just thinking that it could be (and probably will be) the new norm and "perfect" size.

Just a thought.

I think the different port is royally retarded though. Reasons to back up my point:
1. Harder to dock to new iHomes (will require one of those annoying plastic inserts that shapes to your type of iPhone/iPod (if they choose to keep the same dock method).
2. Won't fit on any iHome there is right now so everyone who has recently bought a multiple-hundred dollar iPod music dock can't dock their new iPhone on it. They will have to use the headphone port in the back which sucks. So they'll probably buy a new one.
3. Will only have 1 charging cord that comes with the phone, instead of the multiple that have piled up over the years of buying different iPods/iPhones (My house has probably 6 or 7).

Well yup, that's my .02

Still gunna get the new one though, cuz apple sucks at not being enticing. I'm due for an upgrade from my 2 year old iPhone 4.

Same with basically any android on the market. The best thing apple has going for it are the apps and the simplicity.

lol. I remember when i thought other peoples opinions were true.

And i seriously think steve jobs is what made apple awesome. I feel like there turning into a normal company with a bunch of different options to there phones. I like simple shit. And now that there sueing companies..
Apples almost going downhill as fast as jiberish did

Dude Blackberry is dying. I will be so amazed if they ever make a phone that has substantial sales again.

I feel like most corporations today can do everything they want with android/iOS.

they are entirely over rated. all smart phones are, i really don't need all the features....that's what my computer is for.

cell phones have single handedly ruined human face to face interaction.

NFC is not changed, processors still not up to par with new android phones. Overall, meh. And it's the iPhone 5 because the last one was the 4S.

I'm bummed about no NFC, but I'm willing to bet it will perform similarly to other Android phones that technically out-spec it, just like how the A5 is better than the quadcore Tegra 3.

and that's a dumb reason for it to be named the 5, its the 6th iPhone....

This. What the fuck? The best part about the iPhone is that every one has a charger lying around.
